Really only a few things that irk me: the ugly rear end, trunk opening is slightly smaller, the seat still squeaks near the seatbelt area, and the suspension is a tad bit soft compared to the 16. It does make for the perfect DD though. No major problems being reported yet.... but the biggest one is probably the turn signal sporadically not working / blinking super fast.

Overall though, I think most people will enjoy the 22+. Not to mention the fact that something like this still exists. Rwd, lightweight, affordable.
I don't think you car reach 210+whp on the 1st gen without an ace header and E85 tune. So the new motor is way more powerful
